Audio /Video Quality: The technical aspects are nicely done. The audio is clear and nicely balanced, but sometimes seems a touch flat. The video is presented in anamorphic widescreen and looks good. It's normally nicely lit, but there's a bit of camera motion that does pop up a couple times.

The Movie: Giovanni thinks he's met the woman of his dreams in Brooklyn, and plans to spend the rest of his life with her. Two years later, however, he's left with a Dear John letter and the engagement ring he gave her, and heads out of town to hang with his brother Johnny while pretending everything's still okay. There he meets up with high school friend Marie, and the feelings they always denied between each other start to come forth.

Scene 1 – Brooklyn Lee and Giovanni Francisco

Giovanni and Brooklyn start out on a bed kissing passionately as their hands wander around each other a bit before he lays her back to strip off her bra and suck her tits. He moves down to tongue her hairy pussy before coming back up to kiss her and grind against her. Brooklyn teases him through his shorts before pulling his cock out to suck it, and continues to eagerly suck him as they move around to sixty-nine. Giovanni fucks her missionary style and spoons her before Brooklyn eagerly sucks, strokes, and rides his cock cowgirl style. They finish fucking missionary style with Giovanni stroking himself off on Brooklyn's bush.

Scene 2 – Heather Starlet and Xander Corvus

After talking about taking it slow, hot dirty blonde Heather lets Xander know just how much she wants him and pulls him in for a bit of passionate kissing on the bed. She rolls on top of him to kiss him as he runs his hands around her great body before letting him kiss her tits and thighs. Xander moves in to eat and rub her pussy through her panties before coming up to kiss her while continuing to rub her pussy. Heather sucks his cock in return with some nice throat action mixed in before letting him fuck her as she lays on her side both on his knees and spooning her. Heather mixes in a bit more oral action as she rides Xander cowgirl style, and lets Xander fuck her missionary style before eagerly sucking and stroking him to a nice pop in her mouth.

Scene 3 – Bailey Blue, Madison Ivy, and Johnny Castle

As Johnny nods off to sleep after he and Bailey discuss a threesome with Madison, he dreams of Madison joining them with Bailey urging him to kiss her. The girls come together to kiss as well, and Johnny and the girls' hands wander all around each other as the girls kiss and suck each other's tits. They move down to suck Johnny's cock with Madison leading the way before Madison lays back for Johnny to eat her pussy and spoon her as she and Bailey play. Bailey sucks his cock clean before riding it cowgirl style with Madison working her way between them for a little light oral play, and then lays back for Madison to eat her pussy as Johnny fucks Madison from behind. Madison moves forward for Johnny to fuck Bailey missionary style, and he works his way between them fucking them with a little more oral action mixed in. Johnny fucks Bailey doggie style before finally popping on her ass for Madison to lick up, play with, and share slightly with a kiss for Bailey.

Scene 4 – Krissy Lynn and Anthony Rosano

Anthony's more than into busty dirty blonde Krissy, and reassures her that he and Marie are swingers and she wants him to find another girl for them to play with when he questions him being at the party with Marie. Anthony moves down to suck her tits and eat her pussy before letting Krissy suck and stroke his cock with a little back of the head mixed in. She rides him cowgirl style before laying back to let Anthony fuck her missionary style. Finally Anthony pops on her nice big titties and gives Krissy one last kiss.

Scene 5 – Marie McCray and Giovanni Francisco

When Marie finally opens up to Giovanni, his kisses move from her mouth and neck down to her tits, stomach, and pussy before ever removing her dress. He dry humps her before they strip down and he goes right to fucking her pussy missionary style. Giovanni also spoons Marie, and she gives him a bit of eager head before riding him cowgirl style and letting him take her doggie style. Finally Giovanni pops on Marie's ass and professes his love with a few last kisses.

I'll admit that I had a few reservations going into Forever Love: Trust, as Jim Powers just didn't seem like a director who would be right for focusing on romance and some of the emotional aspects of a heavily couples focused release. Watching it, however, I couldn't help but be impressed by the angle that Smash and Powers took with it. With a release like this one wouldn't normally expect facials and threesomes, but they work both in very well with a nice party attitude and some great talk about their relationship to start off Heather and Xander's scene, and Bailey and Johnny talking a bit about their relationship before he falls into his dream of a threesome with her and Madison. The trust aspect comes up throughout the movie, both in strengthening relationships when it's fostered, with Heather and Xander, as well as hurting them when it's broken, such as Anthony's cheating on Marie with Krissy in a nicely hot scene. Both sides of the trust aspect are also dealt with around Brooklyn and Marie in their relationships with Giovanni, and each of the girls turns out a very strong scene with him as well.

Forever Love: Trust isn't your typical romantic couples release, but at the same time that's not a bad thing. The sex is going to work well for strokers as well as couples, and although the sex isn't as limited as one expects in the current realm of romantic couples porn, it's not a bad thing due to how well it's dealt with. If there's a complaint here it's with the characters. The acting sometimes fell a little flat for me, and as soon as somebody fucks in the movie (with the exception of Giovanni), they're done in the movie rather than sticking around to flesh out the story a little more. That's a pretty minor complaint, however, and Forever Love: Trust left me nicely impressed and looking forward to seeing what Smash is going to do to follow it up.

The Extras: Trailers are included for eight other Smash releases. The photo gallery lasts just over six minutes. There's also a behind the scenes featurette, weblinks, a Pick your Position option, and as this is a Smash release, the ability to watch the movie with or without the story sequences.

The behind the scenes featurette lasts over forty minutes. After a few outtakes around the movie, Jim Powers chats with Brooklyn about her name, New York, and sex before giving him a nice little solo show. Heather talks about her romantic appeal, sex and relationships, and guys and girls before working herself over naturally. Bailey talks about relationships and porn as well, how well things are going for her, and her hopes for the future before laying back to play with herself. Madison talks about being filthier at home than on camera, her love of fast cars and literature, and her background before putting on her solo show with a little extra play for the camera. Krissy talks about her journey from Salt Lake to porn and giving a short little tease. Marie chats about getting into the industry, her personal sex life, and her future before working herself over naturally. Finally you get a few more outtakes. This is a very nice behind the scenes featurette, which is nothing new for Smash Pictures. You get some very nice personality and a bit of fun in the interviews as well as some great eye candy through the solo scenes. This is a very nice addition to the overall DVD.

Condom Usage: None

Final Thoughts: Rent it if you're nervous about not being romantic enough, but it's done well enough that it's worth the purchase.

Note to Smash Pictures: It's great to see you taking a bit of the middle ground when it comes to the romantic porn genre. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing more like this in the future.
